e.g. Watch a funny video with friends.
e.g. Share a joke.
e.g. Join a laughing group.
e.g. Feeling stressed about exams.
Finally, let’s collect everyone’s prescriptions and give them to School Nurse Mary. I believe these prescriptions will help all the students learn to smile and find happiness.
The text taught us:
✦ Laughter makes our body stronger
✦ Laughter makes our mood happier
✦ Laughing with others doubles the power!
Remember that old saying? ‘Laughter is the best medicine.’
Next time you or your friend feel sad or stressed, don't forget — a good laugh can make things better.
